This is my favorite State campground in TX! This trip I stayed in Mesquite campground and I loved it. While not totally isolated from other sites, the views and location at the end of Park Road make it very desirable. It was warm/hot in the day and cool in the night and the morning.

On my quest to visit many different Texas State Parks, this one was a great one and one that I would surely return to! The dinosaurs that were here some 100 million years ago intrigued me as well as the beauty of the park itself. My visit was in November and the weather was great. This park offers many hiking trails of different degrees of difficulty as well as access to biking on most of the trails. The campsites were reasonably spacious and  private. The sites on the outside of the loop offer the most privacy and are typically larger. The bathroom facilities have been updated and are very clean and well maintained. I found the staff to be very friendly and offered great advice on where to hike and to photograph for great views. And yes, seeing the actual dinosaur footprints was an easy hike. It was really amazing to stand and see something so real that actually happened so long ago!!

I first visited Palo Duro State Park in January of 1980. My wife, dog and I were driving from Virginia to California and planned on spending the night in Amarillo ,TX. We happened upon Palo Duro SP and drove through the park. It was fantastic and I've always wanted to go back and spend some time there. Well, it finally happened in October 2021. I spent 4 nights in the park and had beautiful weather, opportunities for many photos and reconnected with nature. The campsites are very nice- spaced out, large and mine as did most have many trees for shade. I was in the Hackberry loop. The park employees were very helpful and friendly. The bathroom facilities were extremely clean and have been updated. Plenty of trails for hiking and bike riding and the photo ops were fantastic. So far, my favorite Texas State Park.

This was a good stopover for a night on my way to Palo Duro Canyon State Park. For me it was pricey ($45), as I'm used to State Parks at a senior rate. It was adequate for me in my Aliner Pop-up, but much more suited for larger RV's/trailers. As commented on in previous reviews, a bit noisy as it is close to the Hwy. 

With that said, it was well run, nice property and facilities.

This is a beautiful, undervalued State Park In Texas. I spent only one night here on my way to another TX State Park. It was fantastic!! This park has great facilities, spacious campsites and talk about animals. Bison & Prarie Dogs are the tow most popular animals at the park. Very unique to any park that I have visited in TX. The canyon views are spectacular as is the hiking in the park. I'm a photographer and got some beautiful Sunset and Sunrise photos. The park personnel were great and very helpful in pointing out some of he best photo opportunities in the park.

This is one of my favorite TX State Parks! I camped at this park in late August, 2021. The water was running at a perfect flow for kayaking and swimming as well as lounging in the rapids. The water was cool and clear. My campsite was a good size, plenty of shade and isolated from my neighbors. Great hiking trails and good for biking as well. I'm a photographer and the park offered many photo ops that produced great pics- sunsets were fantastic. The wildlife was great too- especially the friendly Armadillos. Bathrooms were "state of the art" and personnel were wonderful.

I camped at Pedernales Falls back in November of 2020. The river was running low, but it was still a great visit. However, I camped again this year in June and the water was running at 70% above normal. It was great for viewing the river, swimming and taking photos. Again, the rangers and staff were great and the campsite that I had this trip (09) was very nice. Weather was hot during the day (90's) and in the evening in the 70's-80's. There were a few armadillos wandering down and deer as well. Be sure to visit the bird blinds as there are always a variety of birds to view and photograph.

This is a wonderful campground the plenty of trails for hiking and biking. The Llano river offers opportunities for kayaking & tube floating. The campsites are shaded and not on top of each other.  Restroom and shower facilities where clean and well kept.

All of the park personnel were friendly and knowledgeable and easy to find if needed. People were very respectful of the quiet hours.  There are bird blinds that are great for viewing the large variety of Texas birds.

This was my second visit to the Chisos Campground  in Big Bend National Park, TX. The past visit was in the fall and this year I wanted to experience spring in the park. As usual, the campground was great. The bathroom facilities were clean and close to the campsites. Water was readily available near all of the sites as well. My site this last trip was not as private as my previous trip last fall, but it was a later reservation and I was lucky to get a site for 4 days in the most popular time of the year to visit. Plan far in advance as this is a popular campground and about 10 to 15 degrees cooler than the others in the park

Great small RV park with motel. All spaces with electric and water, showers are great. Has a nice courtyard with large fire pit. Very clean and quite. It’s right off the main road into Big Bend National Park, about a 40 minute drive.

Chisos Campground is the place to camp on Big Bend National Park. It is a high elevation location and many great hiking trails from the location. As a landscape photographer, this was a fantastic place to camp. Nice sized sites, however, no hookups & only 8 sites that allow generators. There were no wood fires when I was there last October.

So far, one of my favorite TX State Parks. Great for landscape photography, swimming in the clear Frio River, biking and hiking.

My first camping trip in TX, my mistake in going in Hot August. There are no hookups and generators are not allowed. I have an Aliner trailer, and no shade over most of the sites. There is good hiking and you can get to the Colorado river. Pretty long hike (I rode my MTN bike and it was a 45 min not so easy ride. There is a swimming area near the camping sites, but for me, not that exciting.

Pedernales Falls is a great camping experience for all. The sites have been updated a few years ago. The sites are reasonably large with covered table areas. The falls area requires a drive, but with ample parking. The hike to the falls area is reasonable. Ther is no swimming or entering the water allowed, due to the dangers of potentially high water or flash floods. There is a swimming area in the river, but requires driving to the location (in the park). There are also a couple of bird blinds that provide for great views and photography. Hot and humid in the late spring through summer.
